Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was spent with my family. Loud and chaotic (but SO much fun) would be two words to describe this Christmas!!! We started with punch and appetizers and followed it with a yummy dinner of fried chicken with sides of potatoes, garlic bread, caesar salad, vegetable casserole, etc. Like I said it was YUMMY!!! After a little clean the kids could be contained no longer so present time it was.

Mase with his new "mic" from one of his Tibbe cousins and with his new wheelbarrow from Gpa and Gma V.

Me with each of my favorite boys!!!

Our lil fam (for NOT much longer)!!!

The grandkids with Gpa and Gma

Mase with his (big) girl cousins

The girls

And then it was (finally) dessert time. Mase had his eye on this cupcake since arriving at Gpa and Gma's house...

Dessert time was followed by play time. A fave activity of Mases...Uncle Brandon lifting him into the air (again and again and again).

Me and the LOVE of my life

Love begins before a baby is born...and that love will live forever in our hearts. When you lose a baby, you lose not only the promise of a very special human being, but you lose many beautiful hopes and dreams as well.

Saying Good-Bye For Now...

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18

Seven Years Later...

We simply do not see the bigger picture, but we choose to believe that there is a bigger picture and that our loss is a part of some wonderful story authored by God himself.
